Amitav Ghosh's 'Climate-Fiction': A Rereading in the Context of the Anthropocene.

This paper rereads a few of the notable writer Amitav Ghosh's works to examine the relationship between the Anthropocene and climate fiction, or Cli-Fi. After providing a brief overview of Cli-Fi and its formation in the Anthropocene, the paper explores Ghosh's influence as a writer in environmental discourse, highlighting the evolution of green consciousness in his writing. Examining storytelling devices and natural imagery, the article draws attention to Ghosh's literary works' rich symbolic tapestry and symbolic potency. The study of the link between humans and nature reveals more about this symbiotic relationship while also highlighting the detrimental effects of human activity on ecosystems. The idea of the 'Great Derangement' takes center stage, analyzing how the modern worldview is disconnected from nature and from the seriousness of environmental destruction. Ghosh examines historical backgrounds in his writing, highlighting their effects on the environment by examining eco-historical viewpoints and colonial legacies. Beyond defining environmental benefits and burdens, the essay explores environmental justice and social fairness, arguing that Ghosh's story should serve as a vehicle for promoting both communal responsibility and climate justice. The conclusion, which emphasizes the value of integrating the past and present in the pursuit of environmental sustainability, concludes with a reflection on the interaction of history, culture, and ecology. All things considered, it highlights Amitav Ghosh's significant contribution--made possible by his literary pursuits--to strengthening environmental consciousness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
